Michael Bisping has forged a reputation over the years for being one of the best trash talkers in the game, and the middleweight champ continues to showcase those skills, leading up to UFC 217.

On November 4th, Bisping will look to defend the middleweight title against Georges St-Pierre. The bout will be the first time the former welterweight champ has competed, since 2013.

Since the match-up was announced earlier this year, Bisping has argued that GSP believes he makes for an easy fight. During a recent episode of “The MMA Hour”, the outspoken fighter had this to say about St-Pierre (quote via MMA Fighting.com):

“But in truth, he’s (St-Pierre) doing this because he thinks he can beat me. We trained together a long, long time ago and he outwrestled me then. I didn’t know a double-leg from a Big Mac. So he still thinks he can outwrestle me down and beat me. He didn’t want to fight Anderson Silva when he was the champion. He didn’t want to fight Luke Rockhold when he was the champion. So he’s looking at me as easy pickings. That’s why he’s focused on fighting me so much. And for all this talk, I say Georges is a fraud. And Canada, who looks at him as their champion — Canada’s champion is a f*cking fraud.”

UFC 217 will be hosted by the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
